  • Transcendental Consciousness

    Charles N Alexander, Robert W Cranson et al.CHAPTERSleep and Dreams2017

    This chapter introduces a fourth major state of consciousness--transcendental consciousness--to distinguish it from the states of deep sleep, dreaming, including lucid dreaming, and waking, and to suggest its role in a model of human development to higher states of consciousness. The experience of the fourth state of consciousness has been described and its physiological correlates have been predicted by the Vedic psychology of Maharishi Mahesh Y…

  • Methodological concerns for meta-analyses of meditation

    David W Orme-Johnson, David W Orme‐johnson et al.ARTICLEPsychological Bulletin2014

    We commend Sedlmeier et al. (2012) for their significant undertaking of meta-analysis of all meditation types on all psychological variables, but additional analyses may modify some of their conclusions. Whereas they suggest from visual inspection of funnel diagrams that there may be publication bias of underreporting low-effect studies on the Transcendental Meditation (TM) technique, quantitative tests do not indicate the presence of bias for an…

  • The Effects of the Maharishi Technology of the Unified Field

    Open AccessDavid W Orme-Johnson, David W Orme‐johnson et al.ARTICLEJournal of Conflict Resolution1990Citada por: 1Referências: 6

    This article replies to a methodological criticism of Orme-Johnson et al., (1988). The original study reported that participants in the Transcendental Meditation (TM) and TM-Sidhi program located in Jerusalem significantly reduced tension in “collective consciousness” and behavior as measured by decreased conflict in Lebanon and improvement on several social indicators in Israel. Specification of the independent variable on the basis of political…

  • International Peace Project in the Middle East

    Open AccessDavid W Orme-Johnson, David W Orme‐johnson et al.ARTICLEJournal of Conflict Resolution1988Citada por: 11Referências: 35

    This prospective social experiment tests a new theory and technology for alleviating violent conflict through reducing societal stress in an underlying field of “collective consciousness.” It was predicted that group practice of the Maharishi Technology of the Unified Field (the Transcendental Meditation and TM-Sidhi program) during August and September, 1983, in Jerusalem, would reduce stress in the collective consciousness and behavior of Israe…

  • Medical care utilization and the transcendental meditation program

    David W Orme‐johnson, D Orme-JohnsonARTICLEPsychosomatic Medicine1987

    This field study compared 5 years of medical insurance utilization statistics of approximately 2000 regular participants in the Transcendental Meditation (TM) program with a normative data base of approximately 600,000 members of the same insurance carrier. The benefits, deductible, coinsurance terms, and distribution by gender of the TM group were very similar to the norm, yet the TM group had lower medical utilization rates in all categories. I…

  • Electrophysiologic Characteristics of Respiratory Suspension Periods Occurring During the Practice of the Transcendental Meditation Program

    Kheireddine Badawi, Robert K Wallace et al.ARTICLEPsychosomatic Medicine1984

    In a study designed to identify the electrophysiologic characteristics of the Transcendental Meditation Program, 52 periods of spontaneous respiratory suspension (RS) were observed in 18 subjects during the practice of this program. These periods were correlated with some but not all the subjective experiences of pure consciousness. Nineteen RS periods (belonging to 11 subjects) free from any artifact were selected for EEG analysis. The mean tota…

  • Autonomic Stability and Transcendental Meditation

    David W Orme-Johnson, David W Orme‐johnsonARTICLEPsychosomatic Medicine1973

    Physiological indices of stress were found to be lower in people who regularly practiced Transcendental Meditation (N=14) than in nonmeditating control subjects (N=16). During normal waking (eyes open) a noxious loud tone (100 db, 0.5 sec, 3000 Hz) was presented to subjects a mean of once every 53 sec at irregular intervals. The stress reaction to each tone, as indicated by the galvanic skin response (GSR), was compared for the two groups. Habitu…
